Yes, there is enough latitude to even consider the use of the term landslide with anuthing over a one vote or one point win!

How about the results of the electoral votes in 2012; Obama 332, Romney 206, with 270 needed to win. McCain did even worse in 2008, only getting 165. Painful, isn't it?
Speaking of close elections, the poster must be thinking of 2000, Bush V Gore.
